Let's bring the CNY atmophere in, while he lacks the power, drummer boy and the gong girl and the 4 cymbal are in perfect time which is no mean feat at such a young age.

As long as the weather is not disgusting I will be going to Chinatown (London) on Sunday for the Lion Dancers and the parade. Plus Dim Sum and maybe some suckling pig.

The Jade Emperor was fascinated by earth and its creatures. So he compiled a list of the animals he wanted to take to heaven to keep him company and study. So he sent an immortal down to earth to collect them. They were Cat Rat Ox Tiger Rabbit Dragon Snake Horse Sheep Monkey Chicken Dog. When the immortal got to earth and rounded up one each of the animals he couldn't find a cat, but the rat said he knew where the cat was and said he would get him as they were best friends. Rat went to where the cat was sleeping (per usual) and looked at him and thought the cat is so pretty if we take him the Jade Emperor will make him his favourite, so he didn't wake him and went back to the immortal and said he couldn't find the cat. So the immortal took the animals up to heaven and the Emperor was not pleased, so he said to the immortal if you can't find the cat get the first animal you see. So back again the immortal went and landed on a road with a farmer driving his pigs to market. The farmer gave him one of the pigs and the immortal took him to heaven.

That is why the cat now hates the rat and always tries to kill it, and the rat has the reputation for being sly and devious and the pig is an afterthought :D

BTW I am a pig as well, but you have to find your other elements if you want a horoscope. I am a Yin Fire Pig.
